My post was when the line ups were announced to be fair. It's just been quoted again at full time.

He was walking around the pitch at the final whistle so it can't be that bad surely?

By the way my post about the full backs wasn't a criticism on Howe so dunno why it's included in that mega post on the previous page. It's more pointing out how poor our depth is in certain positions that we're forced to play two players out there who struggle for pace, and something we've known about for a while and haven't addressed, that's not all on Howe because I'm sure he'd rather have better options.

Maybe, but if we hold onto Hall and Tino in the summer better cover for them is something we badly need to address. I love Burn at centre back, probably time for Tripps to move on though.

I stand by what I said about Burn and Trippier being our fullbacks in 2026 like.

You know he'll be thinking about Villa right now too.

Loved him cheering at the fans at the end there. Fucking class, delighted for him tonight.

Brilliant 3 points that. Hopefully a turning point in our league form.

Have to keep going and kill the game off this time.

If Spurs come out and put us under pressure I hope Howe tries to change it early and doesn't wait til it's 1-1. We really should be winning this.

The game of football is a fucking shambles now

Hoddle really is dreadful on comms. He should be at home in his slippers watching this on TV fuck sake.

Hoddle saying it's like the chicken and the egg and then saying something totally unrelated to it. Class commentary.

So put Thiaw there then. Has to better than Trippier who's clearly struggling?

Burn and Trippier fullbacks? Good God man. It's 2026.

Hopefully we can get away with resting some players against Qarabag, at least that'll give some a week without a game. Absolutely brutal schedule that doesn't get any easier. March will have Chelsea or Barcelona twice too if we progress. If we get put out of the FA Cup it'll be shite but you have to think the weekend off for the next round would be brilliant for us too.

He deserves a chance to turn it around in the summer for me but you know what the court of public opinion is like, especially with the mackems.

I think the majority have faith in Eddie and want him to stay. Not sure it'll still be the case if the bad run continues over the next few weeks and we don't beat the mackems as well though.

Times are bad but not that bad that we'll lose to Spurs.

I don't think I've ever seen a lack of urgency from a side a goal down with 9 added minutes. You'd swear it was us 3-2 up. Fucking shocking.

Not gonna lie it's getting harder and harder to defend him with every passing week. Our performances have been truly awful.

Qarabag are definitely going to give this lot a game aren't they?

Hard to blame the man for regressing with age. Blame whoever's job it is to sign players because apparently we didn't need any in January.

Someone's gonna win this.

Honestly dreadful.
